chill, it's just a preview page from #1. there's barely enough info to disseminate the rocket pack let alone what the next arc entails

Sorry but I'm a huge Scarlet Spider fan! And that new costume is just not living up to the legacy in my opinion -- not remotely. So it's very important to me that this book use the classic threads. I was not on board until I heard they were going to be ditching the weird new look. So now seeing this preview that makes me concerned that maybe we weren't properly informed before?? Ugh, I hope we get confirmation soooon! Also, Ben shouldn't be evil... that's a lame premise and they should ditch it fast.

Me: "Wanna be Hawkeye and Hawkeye next Halloween?"
My wife: "Only if I get to be Clint."

ha, don't say sorry on my account, i get it. i would say, considering that newsarama reported it direct from marvel...you don't need to worry. marvel even felt the need to back it up by saying it would be a story driven reason for the return to OG costume.

I always liked Bags - I still think his art here looks okay - but I share the opinion that he's been better: somehow it feels less dynamic, more static than his Spidey work in the past.

Also, I never disliked his rendition of the classic Scarlet costume, but for me, the best version is by Tom Lyle. I like the skinny, angular eyes rather than the larger rounded ones; I like the larger spider on the blue hoodie; and I like the darker shade of red that was used.

Also, I agree with rckstr that Ben needs the external webshooters! It didn't even occur to me that they were missing, but I do love that little quirk for Ben.

I'm getting really excited to see what PAD has in store for our boy(s).

Thank you for understanding =) And thank you for helping put my mind at ease. I hope you're right!!

I love Bagley! Historically he was my favorite comic artist for a long while. But, during the original Scarlet Spider era there were a lot of great artists going. If I am remembering correctly, Lyle was definitely one of them!!
